I feel like I need to clarify something about Texas Towelie's

27. My philosophy...

after finding myself having to take the responsibility of some in my Mother's family following her death when I had major respons. of my own. I did things I later regretted and belittled myself for doing.

Then one day when I was at a very low point; out of the clear blue came a thought. "Dammit Woman! YOU did the BEST you COULD. with WHAT you HAD; at THAT particular TIME; with no HELP what-so-ever from other family members who lived closer and had more resources than YOU"

I did the BEST I COULD, with WHAT I HAD, at that TIME.

I am the only one left in Mother's family and to tell the truth, the only ones I miss are my Mother and the ones for whom I became the care-giver. No regrets there either. May you find peace within yourself as well, my sister in the our DU family.
